Was deciding between Canon Ixus 30/ 40 and Fujifilm F450 after my dream camera- pink panasonic lumix fx7 was sold out. Finally gotten the latter because it has more functions and more importantly, the Canon people pissed me off BIG time. “Where Style Meets Substance”… “Engineered for those who live for photography” *scoffs* More like “Where Snubbers Meets Stinking Attitude”… “Staffs engineered for those who live to get pissed off”.
I cannot really marvel at my camera yet as I’ve not really fiddled around with it since I bought it without my parents’ knowledge. They (read: mum) would flip if they knew I spent money on such “unnecessary” stuff. In fact I have to hide my whole freebies package at somebody else’s house coz that package was too large to hide from them.

Diary-like Entry (I)
My whole weekend was burnt making materials. I have JUST finished making them. What kind of weekends do I have?! For the first time, I need not make till the next morning and I still have some time to blog. It is tentatively the next morning right now, but you know what I mean. I couldn’t have finished so early without my da jies’s help. Thank you so much jie jie!!! I really owe you a treat. I meant it when I said that just now. Don’t scoff at my kind gesture.
Poor Simba has been going without food for 2 days. She has finished off the last bit of her dry food. And we do not have any emergency canned food at home. (We do have previously, but since Simba doesn’t really like canned food, we figured it would be better not to waste cabinet space and to give those to Nike. Nike is Joel’s gay cat by the way.) She kept meowing at us with her big eyes whenever she’s awake and would do her Flinestones run each time someone walks to the kitchen.
Why Flinestones run? Ever watched the cartoon? When the characters run, they would make those tinkling toes sound. With a little bell around her beck, Simba makes such tinkling sounds too.
Ok back to the pathetic Simba story. While all of us took pity on her by merely exclaiming “Poor Baba. Poor Baba”, my dad actually foraged the freezer for any frozen food suitable for her. He found some fish fillet and micro waved it. My dad is so sweet to Baba! He’s always the one scolding and beating her whenever she does something naughty. So I thought my dad was rather sweet and cute to micro wave a fish fillet for her.
And now, she’s all curled up and half asleep under my table.
My cheeks are really itchy now thanks to Regina. She claims that OXY works wonders for pimples and taught me a secret method of applying: Do not blend into your skin. Leave it as white dots for it to be effective. Hence, I stole er jie’s tube of OXY and did exactly what Regina told me. OXY is probably too drying. After 2 days, my cheeks are really itchy and red. Er jie however thinks they are rosy and cute. Actually, I added the 2nd adjective myself. So since I’m rosy and cute now I’m not so much in a hurry to collect my blusher from you, Regina. Thanx for the OXY advice!. =P
I simply have to be a bimbo and announce to all that I’m one of the lucky 20 HER WORLD readers who have won a free Bio Dermabrasion Session worth $300!
[Please read the above with shrieks and squeals and the below with Oohs and Ahs.]
Bio Dermabrasion is a medical technique for removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. Bio Dermabrasion removes this layer of skin by gently abrading the skin with natural diamond chips while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of skin leaves a softer, smoother texture and promises growth.
Doesn’t that sound like an amazing breakthrough? Diamond chips to polish the skin surface wor! No wonder 1 session costs $300.
I called to ask if this offer is transferable and it is. So I’m gonna let Mummy have it. I’m a good kid. I am.
I’ve been grooving to the beat of Eminem’s Just Lose It for the past 1 hour. Thanks to Yihuang who greeted me with that song on MSN even before a “Hello”. Our tastes in music are almost similar. Send me more songs!!

Nostalgia Visited
I cannot recall the last time I chatted with so many Primary school friends online. Some of whom, I would never talk the way I would in real life. They too, felt the same as I do.
The wonders of the Internet... It allows you to chat with somebody on a different plane.
We talked for hours. About things we would never think of sharing when we are talking face to face. Rhapsodized the past. Sharing music illegally.
The feeling was great.
The last one went offline at 5am. I was supposed to wake up at 6am to fry my Bee Hoon for the surprise Birthday lunch party but drifted off to sleep merrily without setting my alarm, assuming Dad would wake me up. I overslept and woke up with a start at 9. Fortunately, Dad had helped me to fry when my sleepy ass was still in bed. It was delicious. Good thing I overslept or my colleagues would be devouring my not-so-nice Bee Hoon instead.
The day has been good for my tummy. We all had delicious food spread. My colleagues can really cook! We ought to hold more birthday parties.

I've finally got some social life!
I've finally got some social life! After convulsing and chortling with my (crazy) primary school buddies last night, I giggled and guffawed with 2 other (geela) buddies after work today. Sorry, the above sentence sounds very contrived as I was trying to alliterate.
Anyway, there were supposed to be more of us but the rest decided not to meet up in the end as they were spoil sports, nerds and their likes and have to study for their upcoming exams. You know who you are. *Glares*
But hey, I understand you all have to study. GO! Go and study and get your honours while we BA souls enjoy ourselves. I'm not bitter. I'm not bitter. I'm not bitter.
I was so excited about the meet up that I decided to find all means and ways to get my hands on a digital camera for the day. I need not rack my brains much for this person came into my mind instantaneously.
This photo-blogging would not have been possible if not for Joel. Thank you very much for coming out to meet me during your lunch break and lending me your camera ungrudgingly. I'll treat you next time. =) See, I said it publicly so I would keep to my word.
So today was one of the rare occasions when evan was early. She has the habit of being late for almost everything that someone once commented that she would even be late for her wedding.
We have not met since September if I’m not wrong. It is considered a long time given that we see each other almost everyday back then in NUS. And when we met up, everything seemed like before. Evan is the same old evan, always giggling and making funny remarks; always being so “tei” and act cute; always being so crappy. I would give exasperated looks jokingly whenever you do your evan antics, but nonetheless, I know that evan wouldn’t be evan without all these trademarks. And suddenly, I realized you were missed coz I’ve not heard all these coming from a friend for quite some time.
Tingfang is still the same too, although she keeps insisting that many said she has changed after working. She is still the chatty and candid girl (okay lady) I knew from the start.
Can’t believe I got home close to 4am when I did not even go clubbing. We had so much to talk about. Evan was tired and left early. Tingfang and me did not want to go home so soon, was under-dressed for clubbing and lazy to think of what to do that we just sat on a bench and chatted till 3+am.
And now, time for photos…
Tingfang and me
Evan and me
Evan luvs acting cute.
Fish and Chips. There were actually 3 pieces of fish but greedy evan and greedy me took 1 each before we realised we haven't taken a photo of the dish. Those beautiful fingers belong to Evan. That greedy girl wanna steal Tingfang's share but alas, her fingers were caught on camera.
There! Without those irritating fingers. I must say the fish is good. It is actually a starter dish. I must also say that I'm lying. Evan was merely trying to arrange the fish to look more photogenic. Well, she failed as the fish couldn't possibly look more photogenic than when it was alive.
After some rearranging and a change in shooting angle, it finally looks more photogenic.
This is good. Not too salty, not too creamy. I think it's some Alfredo pasta or something.
Pizza!!
Caught unaware and ugly
Me devouring the last slice of pizza.
And then we proceeded to somewhere which was still opened... Macs, thinking what to do next.
We thought and thought and finally a brilliant thought came up. We decided to pretend to think while evan snap a picture of us pretending to think so that I can post the picture on my blog saying that we are thinking. But of course, after reading this, all of you would know that we are not thinking, but pretending to be thinking. I think I am very funny but I think you all think I'm not.
Here is evan acting cute again.
And again.
Having enough of acting cute, she decided to snap me….
snapping her... No wait.. I wasn't snapping her.
And then the place got so hot that we decided to get an ice cream each. Tingfang announced so proudly that ice-cream's on her. Erm... we appreciate your kindness of 25cents. And since Tingfang is seldom so kind, we have to take a picture of her treat.
Evan and Tingfang's Neoprint shots. They attempted to flash the shot numbers with their fingers but the shutter speed was too fast.
